Application Manager Windows

The Application Manager window (see Figure 6-2) is a special File Manager view of the Application Manager in your file system. It looks and behaves somewhat like a File Manager window, but it is populated each time you log in, and you cannot copy new applications and
files directly into it.

The main window (see Figure 6-2) contains a set of application groups, or folders containing icons that you use to start applications; some application groups contain other useful application files such as sample data files, templates, and ``read
me'' files. The application groups may be located on your system or on other systems throughout the network.
An icon that starts an application is called an action icon or application icon.

The application groups in your Application Manager are either built in or registered by your system administrator. CDE provides the built-in application groups listed in the following table.
